DO YOU KNOW ...
The Vicariate of Kuwait is now the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia which includes Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The decree from the Holy See came into effect on May 31, 2011.
"There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord." 1 Corinthians 12: 4 - 5
"There are different gifts but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord." -- 1 Corinthians 12: 4 - 5
These differences belong to God's plan, who wills that each receives what he needs from others, and that those endowed with particular 'talents' share the benefits with those who need them. These differences encourage and often oblige persons to practise generosity, kindness, and sharing of goods; they foster the mutual enrichment of cultures.
"I distribute the virtues quite diversely; I do not give all of them to each person, but some to one, some to others... I shall give principally charity to one; justice to another; humility to this one, a living faith to that one... And so I have given many gifts and graces, both spiritual and temporal, with such diversity that I have not given everything to one single person, so that you may be constrained to practice charity towards one another... I have willed that one should need another and that all should be my ministers in distributing the graces and gifts they have received from me. " - St. Catherine of Siena (CCC 1937)
The three Parishes in Kuwait are
blessed with a very active and committed community, staffing ministries that broadly include:
We are called to build a community of hope, love and compassion ...
" Many people today are disoriented and lost in search of genuine fellowship.
Often their lives are either too superficial or shattered by brokenness.
Their work often is dehumanizing. They long for an experience of genuine
encounter with others, for true fellowship.
Well, is this not precisely the vocation of a parish? Are we not called to
be a warm, brotherly family together? Are we not people united together in
the household of God through our common life? Your parish is not mainly a
structure, a geographical area or a building. The parish is first and
foremost a community of the faithful. This is the task of a parish today:
to be a community, to rediscover its identity as a community. You are not
a Christian all by yourself. To be a Christian means to believe and to
live one's faith together with others. For we are all members of the
body of Christ.... For fellowship to grow, the priest's role is not
enough, even though he plays an essential role. The commitment of
all parishioners is needed. Each of their contributions is vital. "
--- H.H. Pope John Paul II from 'Draw Near to God'.
